AltRider Crash Bars for the Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200

The Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 is quickly becoming an industry leading adventure bike with new features to offer a fun ride that doesn’t have to end when the pavement does. The AltRider design team spent the time to create a strong design while making it easy to install on this 1215cc bike.

The design of the AltRider crash bars utilizes a 1.25 inch stainless steel tubing to fit the proportion of this large ADV bike ( .25 inches thicker than our usual crash bars). While it may look like a simple design, the AltRider design gives comprehensive protection to the clutch, starter, starter clutch assembly, and the stator. Additionally, the bars are designed to hold the bike up and prevent damage to the upper fairings, blinkers shift and brake levers. The crash bars are available in shot peen satin or powdercoat black.

In order to successfully provide the best protection, the bars need to be mounted with strong flanges at the most critical structural locations. The AltRider design is the only bar that mounts between the kickstand mount and frame (one of the strongest locations on most motorcycles). The bar mount creates a sandwich on a 4 inch bracket that is 3/16 thick creating a very strong design. The right side strength is achieved using the signature AltRider tube mount that integrates into the frame allowing the energy to distribute into the frame instead of the shaft of the mounting bolt (commonly found when using cheap manufacturing methods).

Nice!

Really simple install and they look great! The quality and ruggedness of Altrider bars are outstanding when compared to other brands of engine bars I've had on past bikes. These are seriously sturdy.
Looking forward to Altrider releasing more Triumph Explorer products!

Engine Guards or Crash Guards?

The bars are very sturdy, well made, and fitment was easy and straightforward. The end caps on mine are very tight and after working with it for a few minutes I gave up getting it off and screwed it back in. The finish on the bar was missing some powder coat in the AltRider logo. I did not notice this until it was installed unfortunately. I do not think it will hurt in the long run and I hit it with some touch up paint to protect against oxidation. Little upsetting to buy new parts and have damage.Quality on many items is lacking these days and I seem to get multiple items a year with defects on brand new items.
